Blackburn Rovers hit renewed trouble yesterday when Derek Shaw, their managing director, was sent home from Ewood Park.

Shaw was presented with a letter from the club’s Indian owners and told to remain at home pending an investigation into the amount of compensation due to Henning Berg, who was sacked as manager after only 57 days in charge at the end of December.

Michael Appleton succeeded Berg, only to
be sacked last month after just 67 days at the helm.
